Can you make money by running an errand company?

Running errands companies are very common in developed countries in Europe and America, and the running errands economy is also very active. In our neighbor Singapore, there is also a history of 10 years. The emergence of errand economy is based on economic development and the improvement of people's living standards. Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, the economy of large and medium-sized cities in China has continued to grow and people's lives have generally improved. Running errands economy has a broad market demand, and has the foundation and conditions for development. Take Hangzhou, a neighbor of Shanghai, as an example. The number and business volume of errands companies in this city are among the best in the country. This is related to the per capita consumption level and economic development level of this city, especially the development level of the tertiary industry.

The threshold for entrepreneurship and employment is low

■ There is a lot of business. Many people are afraid to start a business, can't find a job, or have no business. Judging from the operation of a large number of errands companies, business is generally booming and overwhelmed. As long as you have time and are willing to do it, there will be endless business.

■ Not much investment, affordable for the general public. It is understood that the cost of registering errands companies in various places is within the affordability of the citizens. The average company only needs a small shop.

It can be opened by a phone call, which is one of the industries with the lowest threshold at present.

■ The requirements for knowledge and technology are not high. Running errands is a trivial matter in the daily life of urban residents and white-collar workers. As long as you are healthy, have normal thinking, have common sense of city life, be familiar with traffic conditions, be enterprising, have a sense of responsibility, be able to do things well and satisfy users everywhere, you will be competent.

■ Especially suitable for people with employment difficulties. Judging from the personnel composition of errands companies around the world, except for some entrepreneurial college graduates and part-time college students, most of them are laid-off, unemployed and unemployed. This situation shows that the errands industry is especially suitable for people with employment difficulties, because it needs less funds and has a low operating threshold.

This city has broad development prospects.

There are also many people with employment difficulties and low-income families in large and medium-sized cities, with as many as 350 thousand social security personnel alone. At present, there are few errands companies in Shanghai, and the errands economy lags behind other cities. But the per capita income and consumption level are higher than other cities. It is the largest economic market for running errands in China, and it is also a fertile ground for people with employment difficulties to start their own businesses. Starting a business in the errand market is not a question of money or integrity for Shanghainese, but a question of concept, mainly because they are afraid of embarrassment and are unwilling to do trivial things. If everyone can break through their own feelings, more errands companies will emerge, and a large number of people will start businesses and find jobs, from which they can enjoy the enrichment and happiness of life and improve the quality of life in the city.

There are hidden worries behind prosperity.

It is understood that the business of running errands in large and medium-sized cities is generally booming, but runners also have three fears: first, they are afraid of waiting in line for generations to buy train tickets and register for clinics, and after waiting for an hour or two, they are finally told that they have no tickets and no numbers, not to mention backache and leg pain, and the agreed running errands fee has also become a bubble; Second, I was afraid that I would buy food and send utensils on behalf of others. The errand boy finally arrived, but the customer was gone. I have to pay not only for running errands in Shui Piao, but also via the capital; Third, I am afraid of being fooled. Running errands companies often receive calls from customers asking for help in inquiring about planes, trains and commodities. When the errand boy took time and effort to deliver the information to the door, the customer threw out a sentence, I know, I will bother you if I buy it later, and I will send the errand boy away.

Running errands companies also encounter many problems and difficulties in their operations, mainly due to low gold content, lack of physical strength and lack of industry norms. Running errands, for example, is a trivial matter. Most errands companies take the road of small profits but quick turnover. Now some urban white-collar workers are reluctant to move when eating and eating snacks. It takes time for the runner to deliver the food and collect the runner according to the prior agreement.

Customers turn against each other, which is too expensive. In particular, there is almost no threshold for entering the errands industry, and more and more people and enterprises will enter. The result must be to reduce the already low running costs and force some running companies to survive. Then, the nature of running errands determines that its service form is running errands, and it relies on two legs to turn around the clock all day, which consumes a lot of physical strength. People who are old and weak naturally feel overwhelmed and exhausted, and feel that running errands is too hard to do any more. The most important thing is that the market is immature and the relevant laws and regulations are almost blank. The general agreement between enterprises and users is verbal, which is very unreliable and not protected by laws and regulations. Be cautious after losing money, and it is easy to be disgusted by users after repeated confirmation.

Need support and guidance.

Running errands is a new economic phenomenon. Due to the low entry threshold, irregular market and lagging policies and regulations, many operators are embarrassed and even feel helpless and confused on some issues. Running errands for enterprises and employment requires more rationality and less blindness, as well as more government support to guide the healthy development of running errands economy. The errand company is a new form,

There is no precedent for registered capital verification, but local governments have given preferential policies to allow operators to enter at a low threshold.
